It is possible to palpate cryptorchidism. There is a difference in the location of testicles of cryptorchid patients, some cryptorchid patients have their testicles located in the pelvis, in which case the testicles cannot be touched; some cryptorchid patients have their testicles located in the inguinal area, in which case the testicles can be touched. Cryptorchidism should be treated in a timely manner to avoid complications such as decreased fertility and malignant changes that may affect the function of the testicles. It is possible for a patient with cryptorchidism to have his testicles gradually descend into the scrotum as he grows and develops within 6 months of birth, but this is very unlikely if he is older than 1 year. Regardless of whether the testicles are palpable or not, patients with cryptorchidism are advised to consult regular hospitals in time and choose the appropriate treatment plan, so as not to affect the normal function of the testicles.
